The Kill Team

Streaming video - 2013

Equal parts infuriating and illuminating, THE KILL TEAM looks at the devastating moral tensions that tear at soldiers’ psyches through the lens of one highly personal and emotional story.. Private Adam Winfield was a 21-year-old soldier in Afghanistan when he attempted, with the help of his father, to alert the military to heinous war crimes his platoon was committing. But Winfield’s pleas went unheeded. Left on his own and with threats to his life, Private Winfield was himself drawn into the moral abyss, forced to make a split-second decision that would change his life forever.. Winner of Best Documentary Feature at the Tribeca Film Festival. Official Selection at Hot Docs Festival.. "[Krauss] delivers extraordinary material and p...resents a story meriting attention. He captures how regular people, when existing among vile mindsets, can, themselves, start thinking malignantly." - Anita Katz, San Francisco Examiner. "An essential film no matter what your political convictions." - David Edelstein, New York Magazine
